Ghost Mountain Appears, Ghost School Emerges
Jiang Liu had been walking along the forest for a short while when he saw an eighth-grade Exotic Beast, Unicorn Python Bull, fleeing in panic toward him.
Jiang Liu leaped forward and struck the head of the Unicorn Python Bull with a palm. The Unicorn Python Bull let out a "moo" and then died. Jiang Liu drew his broadsword and found a blue, eighth-grade beast core inside the Unicorn Python Bull's belly, which he casually put into his bag.
He was wondering why this Unicorn Python Bull, which didn't seem to want to attack him, was charging towards him so wildly.
The Jiang Liu flowed on for a while, and then a noise came from ahead.
He quickly spread his Divine Sense to investigate and found that two ninth-grade Exotic Beast were fighting, one tiger- Exotic Beast and the other lion- Exotic Beast.
After exploring for a while, Jiang Liu discovered a fruit tree not far from where the two Exotic Beasts were fighting. It was lush and full of life.
The Dark Fragrance Fruit Tree is a fruit tree that emits a faint, delicate fragrance. It bears eight fruits, each one small enough to be eaten in one bite. Judging from the lush green leaves and branches of the Dark Fragrance Fruit Tree, it has Dao Sheng for quite some time.
As Jiang Liu approached, a delicate fragrance wafted towards him. The scent instantly made him feel his absorption of vital energy much faster, indicating that this was a treasure for cultivation.
The two ninth-grade Exotic Beast that were fighting stopped at the same time as soon as they sensed someone approaching, and turned their heads to roar at Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu drew his broadsword and charged forward. The tiger-shaped Exotic Beast launched the first attack, roaring and leaping towards Jiang Liu, while the lion-shaped Exotic Beast watched from the side.
Jiang Liu used his Elusive Shadows, flashing past the tiger-shaped Exotic Beast's belly. With a "whoosh," he slashed open the Exotic Beast's Exotic Beast, and it screamed in agony before collapsing to the ground.
Upon seeing this, the lion-shaped Exotic Beast immediately turned and ran, darting towards the woods. Jiang Liu activated his Elusive Shadows to its maximum and chased after it, stabbing the lion-shaped Exotic Beast in the rear with his knife. The lion-shaped Exotic Beast let out a miserable cry and continued to flee without a care.
Jiang Liu drew his sword, held it with both hands, channeled his inner energy, and slashed at the lion-shaped Exotic Beast. The energy shot out from the blade, instantly splitting the lion-shaped Exotic Beast in two.
Jiang Liu stepped forward and found a yellow, ninth-grade beast core inside the lion-shaped Exotic Beast's head. He then found another yellow, ninth-grade beast core in the chest of the tiger-shaped Exotic Beast.
Jiang Liu wiped his sword and sheathed it. He then walked to the Dark Fragrance Fruit Tree and looked up. All eight fruits were ripe; otherwise, the two Exotic Beast wouldn't have fought over the tree.
Jiang Liu leaped and picked eight fruits. Hmm! We have fruit for today's meal.
Jiang Liu traveled through the mountain range without finding any high-grade Exotic Beast, which puzzled him. He glanced at the sky and saw that it was getting dark. He then randomly found a cave and decided to meditate and cultivate there for the night.
At midnight, Jiang Liu relaxed his body and began to cultivate according to the method of circulating energy in the Soul Technique.
All Sounds Cease, and every movement within a radius of more than 500 meters was reflected in Jiang Liu's mind.
The Jiang Liu slowly absorbed the Spirit Power Particles floating in the air, strengthening the earth's soul.
Suddenly, Jiang Liu sensed an unusual disturbance emanating from beyond the range of his Divine Sense. A tremor ran through him; it was as if something bad was about to happen.
Jiang Liu quickly composed himself and stopped Soul Refining Technique. Only then did the trembling in his mind subside.
Jiang Liu quickly held his breath, got up, and darted into the darkness. He moved with Elusive Shadows, heading straight for the nearby woods. He sensed that if he stayed any longer, something bad might happen.
Sure enough, not long after Jiang Liu left, a white figure appeared here, sniffed the air, and said, "Hehehe! What a fresh soul, full of vitality! It should taste good!" After saying that, it even licked its lips at the air.
The white figure flashed and chased after the direction where Jiang Liu had disappeared.
Jiang Liu flew through the trees, holding his breath the whole way, but the throbbing in his heart did not lessen at all, and it did not diminish even after he had traveled several miles.
He immediately realized he was being watched, and that the person who came was definitely stronger than him. He was so anxious that he ran around frantically, but he still couldn't shake off the feeling.
They haven't caught up yet, simply because they're in the woods, and there's still the Elusive Shadows, whose skill level is perfect.
This couldn't go on, so Jiang Liu was desperate for a solution. Suddenly, he remembered the Dark Fragrance Fruit he had obtained that day. Without hesitation, he took out a Dark Fragrance Fruit and smashed it against a nearby tree.
Instantly, the area around the big tree was filled with the subtle fragrance of the Dark Fragrance Fruit.
Jiang Liu quickly darted to the side, carefully avoiding the subtle fragrance of the Dark Fragrance Fruit so that it wouldn't touch him. Otherwise, he would have wasted the Dark Fragrance Fruit.
Jiang Liu quickly flew to the side, away from the area.
The white figure followed Jiang Liu to the place he had just passed. Suddenly, a faint fragrance wafted over, and the scent emanating from Jiang Liu was immediately gone from the nose.
He immediately spread his Divine Sense to investigate, but even with his maximum detection range, he found no trace of her. "Hehehe! You're quite clever, and you're willing to let go. Next time we meet, let's see how you escape from my grasp."
The white figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, heading deeper into the mountains.
Jiang Liu fled for another ten miles or so. The trembling in his heart gradually subsided, and Jiang Liu mind calmed down. The feeling of danger in his heart gradually disappeared.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "These Ten Thousand Mountains are too terrifying. How could I have encountered such a formidable expert?" Judging from the tremor in his heart just now, the expert was at least Minor Grandmaster or even Grandmaster.
Since Jiang Liu's mental strength reached the Grandmaster level, his perception of danger has become much stronger; otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died tonight.
Jiang Liu quickly found a big tree, climbed up, sat cross-legged, calmed his mind, circulated his inner energy, and slowly absorbed and refined the vital energy.
After a while, Jiang Liu took out a Dark Fragrance Fruit and put it in his mouth. Immediately, a rich surge of energy came out of his mouth and rushed into his meridians. Jiang Liu quickly circulated his mental cultivation technique to guide it and began to cultivate.
The white figure arrived at a cave and went straight inside. As soon as he entered, a voice rang out, "Gui Shan, is this how you Ghost School do things? You're way too late!"
"A Duanpo, stop yelling at me. You can wait or not, if you don't want to, get out!" Gui Shan replied without any politeness.
A Duanpo's tone faltered for a moment, then she said irritably, "Fine! Fine! I'll go back and report to the leader!"
"That's all you've got, A Duanpo. What? You're not going to discuss the cooperation anymore?" Gui Shan said nonchalantly.
"You," A Duanpo finally refrained from saying anything in anger. After all, this was a grand plan for the Lotus Sect and the Ghost School to unite. The Lotus Sect had achieved its current status through its extensive network of connections, so how could it possibly refuse to cooperate with the Ghost School over such a trivial matter?
So if she continues to make a scene, she'll only humiliate herself. The reason she feels uncomfortable waiting for Gui Shan for so long is simply because she's used to being flattered.
At that moment, A Duanpo and Gui Shan began to whisper and discuss their plan in the cave.
